The Overlanders (Live)

歌詞

Verse 1 There's a trade you all know well And it's bringing cattle over, On every track to the gulf and back Men know the Queensland drover. So pass the billy round boys, Don't let the pint pot stand there For tonight we'll drink the health Of every Overlander. Verse 2 I come from the Northern plains Where the girls and grass are scanty Where the creeks run dry or ten feet high And it's either drought or plenty. So pass the billy round boys, Don't let the pint pot stand there For tonight we'll drink the health Of every Overlander. Verse 3 There are men from every land From Spain and France and Flanders They're a well mixed pack, both white and black The Queensland Overlanders. So pass the billy round boys, Don't let the pint pot stand there For tonight we'll drink the health Of every Overlander. Verse 4 When we've earned a spree in town We live like pigs in clover And the whole dam cheque pours down the neck Of many a Queensland drover. So pass the billy round boys, Don't let the pint pot stand there For tonight we'll drink the health Of every Overlander. As I pass along the road, The children raise my dander Shouting "Mother dear, take in the clothes Here comes an Overlander". So pass the billy round boys, Don't let the pint pot stand there For tonight we'll drink the health Of every Overlander.
